Resource scheme

The Student Resource Scheme (SRS) operates under the policy and guidelines of the Department of Education and Training. It is not a fundraiser for the school. The scheme is supported and approved by our Parents and Citizens Association (P&C), is managed by the school, and operates in accordance with the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006.

Participating in the SRS ensures that all students have access to the same standard of resources. It also offers a convenient, value for money alternative for parents as we source the items that your child needs for school at cost-effective prices due to our ability to buy in bulk. Parents do not need to do any shopping from a booklist at local stores. By paying the SRS fee each year, your child will have access to the following resources for a comfortable, well-resourced learning experience. 

​It is important to note the following about the Student Resource Scheme:

• To opt in, parents must digitally consent to the Student Reource Scheme via QParents for each student.

• Invoices are issued once consent is completed. The preferred method of payment is BPoint. See the payments page for more information
  

• If you have previously opted into the SRS, your participation is assumed for the remainder of your child's enrolment, unless you inform the school otherwise by emailing the school.
• SRS invoices are emailed out in November for the following year's fee. This enables families to forward plan.
• Student resources will not be distributed to students until the full or first payment has been paid to the school.
• Any unpaid invoices will be managed according to the department's Debt Management Procedure and may result in the student being excluded from the scheme and/or from participating in extracurricular activities until payments are made.
• Resources such as textbooks or musical instruments that will be used over a longer period are hired to students to further reduce costs for families.
• A repair or replacement cost will be charged to the parent for any items that are damaged or not returned. For example, library books and instrumental music instruments. 

What happens if I choose not to participate in the SRS? 

• If you are not satisfied that the SRS fee represents good value for money based on the inclusions listed you will need to deny the SRS consent via QParents, indicating that you do not wish to participate.
• You will still be responsible for providing your child with the items that would otherwise have been provided by the scheme to enable your child to engage fully with the curriculum. The school will give you a detailed list of resources that you will need to provide.
